S02E37 - AIS Install - Navionics Integration (Vesper XB-8000)

[@davidwarnes5158]

Isnt the difference between a & b , that a you transmit also , so ships can see you , ?

[@sailing_el_jaleo]

From what I understand the Class A transponders take priority over Class B transponders. There is only a certain amount of bandwidth on the AIS frequency and Class A transmissions go thru first and more often. Class B like the Vesper both send and receive.

@@sailing_el_jaleo I don't think a takes priority , I think it is stronger, longer range , does your receive also ?

@@davidwarnes5158 Yes, it sends and receives. The boats within approx 20mi that have AIS show up on my Navionics navigation screen.
